Which division of the autonomic nervous system is characterized by short preganglionic and long postganglionic fibers?
The parasympathetic nervous system has long preganglionic and short postganglionic fibers
Which nervous system subdivision is a chain of two motor neurons consisting of a preganglionic and a postganglionic neuron?
autonomic
What is another name for craniosacral division?
Parasympathetic part of autonomic system. It is also called the craniosacral division because the preganglionic neurons occur in the brainstem and sacral regions. Similarly, the sympathetic part of autonomic system also called the thoracolumbar division because the preganglionic neurons occur in the thoracic and lumbar segments of the body.
What are the differences between preganglionic and postganglionic neurons?
You have a really good question. Studying the nervous system can be overwhelming and quit confusing. Preganglionic Neurons come from the CNS to the Ganglion ( mass of neuron cell bodies and dendrites) and Postganglionic neurons leave the ganglion and head toward the effector organ ( smooth muscle, glands, etc..).
What are cholinergic nerves?
The parasympathetic nervous system, which uses acetylcholine almost exclusively to send its messages, is said to be almost entirely cholinergic. Neuromuscular junctions, preganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system, the basal forebrain, and brain stem complexes are also cholinergic.
Why sympathetic nervous system has generalized effect while parasympathetic nervous system has localized effect?
the ratio of a preganglionic neuron to
What are two parts of the peripheral nervous system?
sensory neurons and motor neurons
All preganglionic axons of the autonomic nervous system release what?
acetylcholine (ACH)
What is a specialized cell that conducts impulses through the nervous system?
Neurons transmit and receive signals in the nervous system
What system comprises the sensory and motor neurons?
The peripheral nervous system comprises the sensory and motor neurons.
What system is neurons in?
Neuron is in the Nervous System
What is the element of the nervous system?
Neurons
